Domaine Vacheron Rosé 2021

This new vintage features alluring aromas evocative of the sea, with pink grapefruit, cherry and lime notes. The core of light strawberry cream leads to a tangy, refreshing finish that includes hints of mint, peach and citrus. A truly delightful rosé for drinking this summer (or anytime).”

Domaine Vacheron Winery

The Vacherons are without question Sancerre’s leading winemaking clan. From the
family’s pioneering work in identifying and exploiting the region’s top terroirs to their
leading position in biodynamic viticulture today, there are few if any artisans in
Sancerre as exacting or as respected.

Great-grandfather Maurice Vacheron tended a few vines back when Sancerre was but a
stop on a village road. His son, Jean, was the first of the family to specialize in producing
wine, paying particular attention to the influence of terroir on Sauvignon Blanc. Jean’s
sons, Denis and Jean-Louis, solidified the Vacheron name in Sancerre, showcasing the
family’s talent with not only Sauvignon Blanc but also Pinot Noir.

Today, Denis’ son, Jean-Laurent, and Jean-Louis’ son, Jean-Dominique, have taken the
estate to a whole new level of quality, championing biodynamic viticulture and selecting
singular vineyard parcels that the family has observed for generations (and planted with
their own hands) to bottle as single-vineyard wines, with the goal of showcasing the
heights that Sancerre can reach.
